Hey Presto! has added director Anna Mastro to its roster of commercial directors. Mastro brings a breadth of experience to the table having spent the past decade working in film and television directing hit episodes of Gossip Girl, Jane the Virgin and Shameless.

Mastro’s independent feature film Walter stars Andrew J. West (The Walking Dead) and William H. Macy and was released with critical acclaim. The LA Times said Walter is, "Lovely and touching... Director Anna Mastro coaxes a sympathetic performance from West." The New York Daily News said the film is, "crisply directed."

Mastro has directed award winning music videos for artists such as Train, DJ Havana Brown and Leona Lewis with celebrities such as The Pussycat Dolls, Katy Perry and Becky G often featured in her work. Her 2013 National campaign for Los Angeles and Campbell Ewald premiered throughout the Final Four, and her other commercial work spans across brands such as the Nickelodean's Kids Choice Awards, Degree, Nascar and Mastercard to name a few.

Tim Bathurst, director/EP at Hey Presto! said of Anna Mastro: ‘It's so exciting to have Anna as part of the team, we look forward to developing her commercial career, particulalry focusing in on fashion, beauty and lifestyle. Her experience in TV is so valuable in a landscape of challenging timelines and budgets. What we love most about Anna is her ability to summon crisp earnest performances from her actors'
